Special Notes By V.Sadagopan (V.S):

(1) Sri UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Here , Swamy Desikan
points out that SooryA Himself appeared as PaadhukAs and
the descendants of Soorya Vamsam served as the ministers of
the Paadhukais and thereby ruled the kingdom. He says:
" Oh gem-bedecked PaadhukE ! You rose as SooryA in the Manu
vamsam (SaavithrI) and removed the darkness as GayathrI .
Thou art indeed SaavithrI and GayathrI for the lineage of
Manu. With Your rising (acceptance of the duties of
the kingdom ), the citizens of KosalA kingdom got blessed
with unimaginable wealth and the lawlessness was totally
eliminated.

(2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE ! When RaamA
went to the forest to fulfill the vow that He made to His
father, You accepted the responsibilities to rule the kingdom
and thus removed the deep sorrows of the citizens , just as
the rising Sun banishes the darkness of the night .The inner
meaning is that the darsana soubhAgyam of SadAchAryAs
banishes one's aj~nAnam and viparItha J~nAnam ,
just as Sunrise chases away the darkness of the night .

(3) In this last of the fourty slOkams of the sixth
paddhathi ( AdhikAra Parigraha Paddhathi ), Swami Desikan
salutes the Paadhukai as the veritable Sun sitting
on the throne of the Manu Vamsam kings (Savithu:
tanuriva kimapi). He states that the Paadhukais
chased away the sorrows (dark moods) of the citizens
of the Kosalaa kingdom like the rising sun removing
the darkness of the night ( tath tama: nirAkarOth)...V.S
